From the beginning keda (A)..
Sorry if this thought seems to be long to a little bit (A) :)
These words were poped up to my mind..
"أَلَيْسَ اللَّهُ بِكَافٍ عَبْدَه..."
And i'm still thinking of them and trying to find their tafseer and digging deep in their meaning from different sources...And then comes this "To the point" paragraph - from my point of view or the words i've felt "Eureka!!" when i've read :D
"مَن ترك الاختيار والتدبير في رجاء زيادة أو خوف نقصان أو طلب صحة أو فرار من سقم، وعلم أن الله على كل شيء قدير، وأنه المتفرد بالاختيار والتدبير، وأن تدبيره لعبده خير من تدبير العبد لنفسه، وأنه أعلم بمصلحته من العبد وأقدر على جلبها وتحصيلها منه، وأنصح للعبد منه لنفسه، وأرحم به منه بنفسه ، وأبر به منه بنفسه.
وعلم مع ذلك أنه لا يستطيع أن يتقدم بين يدي تدبيره خطوة واحدة ولا يتأخر عن تدبيره له خطوة واحدة؛ فلا متقدَّم له بين يدي قضائه وقدره ولا متأخَّر؛ فألقى نفسه بين يديه وسلم الأمر كله إليه، و انطرح بين يديه انطراح عبد مملوك ضعيف بين يدي ملك عزيز قاهر، له التصرف في عبده بكل ما يشاء ، وليس للعبد التصرف فيه بوجه من الوجوه، فاستراح حينئذ من الهموم و الغموم و الأنكاد والحسرات."*
I think of smth to become closer to the meaning -مع العلم والإقرار ببُعد الفارق
ولله المثلُ الأعلى..
When you found a husband that is working deeply hard in order to see his wife and children happy, to make them full satisfied in their life in all fields and aspects..
Then, he knew that his wife is complaining him to a friend -for example, telling that "we miss a lot of things. we still need more and more, he can't afford us so and so..."
And he wispered to himself sadly "Don't i do my best to just see their smiles and make them live in a peace of mind in everything?!!" or it can be "هو أنا مش مكفـّيهم..؟!!"
Imagine his feelings and his deep hurt..
ولله المثلُ الأعلى..
HE Creates us and HE never stops in "تدبيـــــــر" our Lives وهو الغنيّ سبحانه...Then, HE finds us complaining about everything happening to us..!
Think about it...وأطلق لتـــــــــأمُــــــــلك العنـــــــــــــــــــــان
"Countless".."Countless" Blessings we are covered by بكل ما تحمله الكلمة من معنى
A little example, "Your Heart Beat" - it means your existance.
Imagine you think one day that you will handle this issue for yourself and there is an instrument -simply, like a stress ball for example- and you have to keep pumping it in order to make your heart beats...in order to be alive!!
I mean 24/7...while you are walking, eating, talking, sleeping!!! Either your heart will stop!!
Unbelievable!!
Subhan ALLAH!! w Alhamdul'ELLAH..
And this is just One Blessing!!
A question here, why we totally depend on ALLAH in this issue without thinking, neither do on the rest issues in our life!! - إلا من رحم ربّــه
I think we have to Reconsider the way we live and to Check to what extent is our level of Faith w Al-Tawakol 3la ALLAH..
